  • Here is one of our Mira 18 1/2 inch Concert Grand console music boxes playing the famous German poem penned in 1840 by Max Schneckenburger and originally set to music by Johann Mendel, "Die Wacht am Rhein" ("The Watch On The Rhein"). Very popular in Germany during the war years it is largely forgotten today. Thanks for stopping in and I hope that you enjoy the video.

    @jimmyxx3 This is an early music box playing a steel disc that has projections on the underside. As the disc revolves the projections contact a star wheel which in turn plucks a corresponding tooth on the music box comb. The successive and perfectly timed plucking of the teeth make the sounds that we hear for the song on the disc.

    Thanks for your comments, Jochenkopf. "Die Wacht am Rhein" in its original form was a poem written by Max Schneckenburger in 1840 and first set to music by Mendel. Karl Wilhelm rewrote the composition and it is his version that we are most familiar with today but the original writer and composer was Schneckenburger and Mendel, respectively. I hope that you enjoyed the video.

      Moreso it is forgotten because patriotism is a social taboo in Germany. Germany is run by people who hate Germany, both in the government and in their media.

I was beyond astounded and it sounded so clear with no speakers, just like you hear in this video...somehow the music comes from the disk itself...I"m not clear on how it's done.

    You can kind of see Edison's intellectual leap w/ his phonograph. He combined this idea w/ the occurring research in sound waves. Carbon coated drums were being used to have a needle being vibrated by someone's voice to etch a record of the vibrations of that voice. No doubt Edison heard of this research. He also must have seen music boxes & just put the two idea together in his head. Though Edison only thought his phonograph would be office equipment.
